Crazy is a word I've been hearing a lot lately. Apparently the idea of selling all my possessions and moving 3,000 miles away doesn't make sense to most people. I have a great job in DC, amazing friends, a gigantic apartment that I love, and a perfectly happy life. So why would I leave everything to move to Seattle, with a stint in Iowa along the way? The answer is that I'm not sure. When I applied to be a bank examiner (in Seattle or San Diego) I knew my chances were very slim. And I told myself that if offered a position, I would take it, because it must be a sign from someone or somewhere. So when I got my offer, I didn't hesitate or frankly even think about it. My answer was yes. So here I am, trying to plan my next month in DC and prepare for probably the biggest event in my life thus far.
So maybe I am crazy, but I don't think that it's a bad thing. The next few months (years?) will surely be an adventure. I will need to make new friends, become a regular at new places, and get used to a new way of life. But I'm excited for the adventure.
